There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 920

[Chapter 920 Chapter 920, Different Choices]

Capital City, Yan Mansion.   After Yan Zhigao received the eldest daughter’s letter, he immediately called Yan Wenxiu

to the main courtyard and handed the letter to him. After he finished reading it, he asked, “What do you think?”

Watching Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li said: “Father, mother, my son wants to go.”

Mrs. Li didn’t know much about the outside world, looked at her husband and son, and didn’t say anything.

Yan Zhigao was silent for a while: “It’s fine if you go to Xiliang, our family’s foundation in the capital is weak, and we have been staying in the capital. I’m afraid you can only suffer in the Imperial Academy. Good place.”

“Go to Xiliang, at least there are Yeyang and your sister there, with their help, you can gain a better foothold. Yeyang should need manpower now, you can go there It can help him.”

“Xiliang may not be as good as other provinces, not only is it bitter, cold and barren, but also has people from Xiliao staring at it, but the more problems there are, as long as you manage them well, promotion will be easier than other places.”

Yan Wenxiu also agreed. Thinking about it this way, good official positions here in the capital are all rotten ones, and the Yan family can’t compete with other families at all. Some idle official positions are a waste of time.

He is still young and has ambitions in his heart. He doesn’t want to stay in the capital and fight with others. He also wants to govern a land.

Xiliang is barren, and others are afraid that they will not be able to make political achievements, but he is not afraid.

No way, there is a younger sister who is quite accomplished in farming, and he can get high-yield grain seeds more easily than others.

Yan Zhigao continued: “When I went to Xiliang, I didn’t worry about anything else, but safety, you must pay attention.”

Yan Wenxiu nodded: “Father, don’t worry, Wen Tao and Wen Kai know many soldiers who have retired from the battlefield. , Wen Tao hooked up, my son should be able to hire a group of people, and safety is not a problem.”

Hearing this, Yan Zhigao was relieved.

Now the older children of the Yan family can take care of themselves and support each other.

Mrs. Li saw that the father and son had made an agreement, so she interrupted: “Yiyi probably wants us to recommend a few more people. Tell me, do you want to talk to the other uncles?”

Yan Wenxiu didn’t comment on this matter. , waiting for the father of the head of the family to speak.

Yan Zhigao thought for a while: “Let’s just say it, it’s up to them whether they want to go or not.”

The next day, Yan Yihuan, Yan Yishuang, and Yan Yile returned to Yan’s Mansion with their respective husbands.

After they saluted and sat down, Yan Zhigao said, “Yiyi wrote that there is a shortage of civil affairs officials in Xiliang. I would like to ask if you would like to go there?

” The expressions are all right.

Xue Yi thought for a while and asked, “Father-in-law, there is a guard management system in Xiliang, what can we do in the past?”

Yan Zhigao immediately asked the point when he saw his son-in-law, and said with a smile: “Yeyang said, you If you go to Xiliang, you will be in charge of the civil affairs of the guard.”

Xue Yi pondered, they were born in the imperial examinations, and it is not difficult to manage civil affairs, but the current situation in Xiliang is not very stable.

You Kai just got a Jinshi this year. Although he is at the end of the top three, he can also enter the court and become an official. Unfortunately, the You family has no connections, and he is still waiting for a job.

You Kai looked at Yan Wenxiu: “Brother, can you go?”   Yan

Wenxiu nodded with a smile: “I have been in the Imperial Academy for three years, and I want to go out and venture out.”

Moved.

The eldest sister will never cheat her own brother.

At this moment, Fang Shuo said, “Uncle, isn’t it appropriate for us to go to Xiliang now?”

Yan Zhigao frowned invisibly, he understood Fang Shuo’s meaning, Xiliao was eyeing Xiliang, and sooner or later there would be a war with Daxia, going now, if it happened to be a war, personal safety would be a problem.

But in everything you gain, you must give up. When Xiliang is safe and stable, there will be more people who want to go, and good positions may not be their turn.

He is not satisfied with this niece and son-in-law.

Too shrewd, too calculating!

“As for me, I’m just asking what you guys think. It’s up to you whether you want to go or not.”

“It’s true that Xiliang is still a little unstable right now. You should think about it carefully and go home to discuss it with your family. I’ll answer.”

After speaking, Yan Zhigao got up and left.

As soon as he left, Xue Yi and the others became less restrained, and immediately started discussing with Yan Wenxiu.

When Yan Zhigao came out of the yard, he ran into Yan Wenjie and Yan Wenbin. Knowing that they might have come here after receiving the news, after thinking about it, he went over to talk to them.

“Wenjie, although you are now a candidate, you’d better prepare well for the next scientific examination. Although you can be accepted as an official, it will be very difficult to be promoted in the future.”

“Wen Bin, being a scholar is just the beginning. You The most important task now is to concentrate on studying and not to be disturbed by foreign affairs.”

That day, Yan Yihuan and others left after having dinner in Yan’s residence.

On the way back, the three couples were discussing whether to go to Xiliang.

Yan Yishuang said to Xue Yi: “Based on what I know about Eldest Sister, if Xiliang is not a good place, she probably won’t let Eldest Brother go.

” Since I went to Xiliang, if I don’t do something, I probably won’t come back.”

Xue Yi listened carefully to his wife’s analysis: “After we go back, I will discuss it with my father.”

Yan Yishuang didn’t say any more.

On the other side, You Kai was also asking Yan Yihuan for her opinion.

Yan Yihuan thought for a while and said, “Today, my uncle mentioned the matter of going to Xiliang. I observed his expression. He actually wants us to go.

” Going to Xiliang is not good for us, he won’t open his mouth.”

You Kai nodded: “Brother is going, I’m actually moved.”

Yan Yihuan said again: “Didn’t you always say that uncle was promoted quickly? , apart from the help of the elder brother-in-law, the more reason is that the place where the elder uncle works is not a good place.”

“The more problematic and poorer the place, the easier it is to make outstanding achievements.”

Wen Yan , You Kai’s eyes lit up, and he smiled and held Yan Yihuan’s hand: “Madam is absolutely right.”

The carriage where Yan Yile and Fang Shuo were in was a little quiet.

Because of the concubine’s affairs, Yan Yile was angry with Fang Shuo, if she didn’t want her natal family to watch the joke this time, she wouldn’t even want to come back.

Fang Shuo was silent for a while, after thinking about it, he took the initiative to speak softly, and after coaxing Yan Yile, he asked, “Brother is going to Xiliang, what do you think?”

Yan Yile frowned, she She knew that if Fang Shuo went to Xiliang, she would either go with her or stay at home, but neither of these was what she wanted.

Xiliang is bitterly cold, so she doesn’t want to suffer; if she stays at Fang’s house, her mother-in-law doesn’t like her, and her husband is leaving, why is she living too much?

“Brother went to Xiliang, so he must let the elder brother-in-law lack help. Uncle naturally wanted more people to help the elder brother-in-law, so he pulled us together.”

“But the conditions in Xiliang are so poor, and the The people of Xiliao are staring at each other, why do we have to suffer? Mr. Xiang, you are not without an official position in the capital.”

Fang Shuo frowned and said, “But mine is just an idle job, I can’t waste time forever.”

Yan Yile saw Fang Shuo thinking Go, thought for a while and said, “Master, it will be difficult to go back to the capital after going to a local office.”

This is what Fang Shuo hesitated the most: “I’m thinking about it.”

Two days later, Yan Zhigao received a reply letter from his son-in-law and niece-in-law.

“Xue Yi and You Kai are both willing to go, but Fang Shuo is not.”

After hearing this, Madam Li was not surprised by the result, she smiled and said nothing.
